I was brush hoggin with my farmall B the other day when, while making a turn, one of my brakes apparently locked up and stuck. I left it in the field for a few hours to cool down. When I returned, I was able to get it to break loose enough to get back to the barn. By the time I got it to the barn it was squeaking pretty bad. Upon inspection of the rear axle, I noticed a hole in the right (when standing behind the tractor)axle casing where it attaches to the transmission final housing. Is this hole suppose to be there. I'd never noticed it before. There was plenty of smoke coming out of it, I think from the stuck brake. If it is the brake, what is the best way to fix my problem?

I thought I remembered that hole in mine, so I went out and checked. My B has one on each side, about 3/8" to 1/2" diameter. Looks normal to me.

Yes....that hole is usually where the mice get in and build a nest in the winter. On a B, that shaft coming out connects to a band with a facing on it, and that wraps around a drum attached to the axle. When you press the brakes, the band constricts around the drum. The good news is that the set up is really simple, the bad news is that those castings weigh a few pounds. A service manual is hand, but not absolutely neccesary. Just make sure it goes back together like you found it, with all shims where they belong.

I always crush a few moth balls in the bottom to deter the mice. By the way, new bands are about 35 each.

Take Care
Steve

New bands for my BN were $60 each at the Case/IH dealer. Is the return spring under the floor bringing your brake pedel back up all the way? Good Luck. Dave.
